Reviews from Leaders Club Members

"Good location in the city center of oslo"

FABRICE H. | France | Member Since: 2007

"This is without a doubt the best hotel in Oslo."

Espen F. | Norway | Member Since: 2007

"This is without a doubt the best hotel in central Oslo. Enough staff, and staff that want to and do provide excellent service. Continental shows all the the positive effects of being family owned. Location, and the excellent restaurants (and breakfast room) in the building makes this impossible to beat in Oslo."
